Chapter 14~ The Darkness Adopting Me
It is dark, and cold. Nothing about this feels right, it's silent, and the air is thick. My body aches everywhere, and my head throbs, like I had just been hit by a truck . I could see nothing but darkness, as I walked forward. There was a sudden sharp, loud 'clang' and I cursed silently as blood escaped my newly opened lip.
My heart has never pounded with such a speed like this, a speed that makes it almost impossible to breath. I swallowed harshly and continued forward with more cautious step. A sudden sickening smell wafted around me, and I gagged horribly, chocking on the air.
It sadly smelt as if a body had been left in a heated space for an extremely long time, slowly rotting. I almost missed the little 'click' noise, which came from behind me. I whipped myself around and saw a small orb of light. It only grew bigger and bigger until, the space with dully lit.
I could see burnt wall paper peeling off the walls, and stains here and there across them. I took a small step forward and I suddenly tripped on my own shaky footing. I crumbled to the floor, and a horrid pain shot to my ankle. I cradled it to me, and squinted to see a body lying on the floor, a few feet away from me.
I carefully crawled towards it and noticed a man's figure, disoriented. It was awful to see how out of order he was, with bones popped out of their rightful place, blood staining almost every inch of him, and the smell only got much stronger. I gasped when I saw the opened shocked eyes of my father.
I then crawled up and grabbed his face, shacking him to wake up. "Daddy! Daddy, come on! Come on Daddy, wake up… Please!" tears stormed down my face, as I senselessly shook him, begging him to wake up. I crumpled down, cradling him to my fragile body.
I rocked us back and forth, begging and pleading for something to happen. I inhaled sharply when I heard, this…horrid noise. Deep mocking laughter filled the air, and I looked up to see the evil face of Voldermort. "You! You did this! You horrible beast, how could you!" I screamed with all my might at the tall figure.
He just laughed louder and louder, until soon all I could hear was the cruel laugh, trapping me in my own nightmare.
"Rose! Rosie, wake up! Calm down, Shhh. It's alright now, Rose." I heard a deep sweet voice say. I gasped while snapping my eyes open to see Draco, and he seemed more like a perfect angel with every moment I spent with him. "Shhh, Rose, it is okay now. Your dreams all gone, you're safe with me."
Draco spoke the comforting words to me as he hugged me tightly into him, and rubbed my back. I pressed my body into him, as much as I could. His embrace was like a heaven, keeping me away from that evil man. "Draco i-it seemed so… so r-real." He dried the tears I didn't know were rushing from my eyes.
"I know, I know Sweetheart. But it is okay, your safe with me now." He said soothingly to me. I nodded to him and looked up saying "I know; I'll always be safe with you." He smiled down at me caressing my cheek sweetly, and brought his sweet lips to press against mine; I wrapped my arms around him and pulled away, resting my head on his neck.
He began to hum a sweet lullaby and just like a child in their mother's arms, I fell for his lullaby and got lulled to sleep.
When I woke up again, I was at ease, when I felt his arms around me, and I saw his eyes tracing a new book, named 'La théière brûler' some French title. I then spoke in a sleepy voice, "Do you enjoy having the upper hand, in knowing the one thing I don't?" He laughed and said "Only always." And kissed my head.
He closed the book, and looked down at me pulling me into his lap. I smelt him and closed my eyes, deeply inhaling it, I smiled and said "You smell delightful, did you know?" he looked down with an eyebrow cocked up, "Same to you darling." I giggled and suddenly felt on top of the world.
He kissed my nose and then my mouth and I moaned to him, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he pulled me so I was straddling his hips. I groaned he had his hands lightly massaging my arse, and I attacked him mouth with lots of lust. I sadly didn't hear the door open or the footsteps because when Lucius cleared his voice, I jumped so high I thought I might have hit the ceiling.
Standing next to the bed was Lucius and Narcissa, both with oddly concerned looks on their faces. Narcissa stepped forward and asked "Rose darling how did you enjoy last night?" I smiled at her and truthfully replied "It was absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much."
Lucius cut off our conversation by sharply saying "Rosemary, would you mind going to your room, and getting ready for breakfast?" and when I nodded he said "Thank you, Draco will pick you up there shortly." I nodded again and looked back to Draco who was giving his parents a hard knowing look.
I got off the bed, and headed out the door, when I was a few feet outside the room I heard some shouts and arguing. I ignored them and continued my way to my room. After bathing, I put on a like blue dress, which cut off above the knees, and had quarter length sleeves. The dress was sheer and flowy and covered in almost invisible white tiny polka dots; I grabbed a pair of simple white heels.
I brushed my hair through, and tied half my hair up with a white ribbon; I put on my pearl earrings and quickly sprayed a light perfume on myself. I heard a knock on my door when I was looking through my books, and rushed to it to see Draco, as he hugged me to him.
I hugged back and said "I was just about ready to die of embarrassment, Draco!" he laughed and squeezed me to him while saying "They didn't think anything of it; they'll forget about it soon, don't worry Doll." I pecked his sweet lips and he grasped my hand.
He was especially quiet as we walked down to the Dining room, and yet all the while his grasp around my waist remained comforting, and protective. When we were moments away from the doors, he stopped me and hugged me into him, while showering me with kisses. As strange as this was I enjoyed every moment of it. He looked at me and said "I just want you to know, that what is about to happen, I am very much so against it. And if I had my way, this would never happen."
He took a deep breath, grabbed my hand, and pushed the doors open. I suddenly knew why Draco was acting so strange, the room was a bit different. The long dining table was possibly longer, and it was pushed farther back. There was a large open space and pushed up facing the room was a large old looking throne type of chair.
And to shake things up even more, a very large amount of Death Eaters were lined up and down the sides of the table. Many of the people were at the Ball last night, and I wondered if they stayed to talk to Voldemort last night. I saw an empty seat between Lucius and Narcissa and knew instantly knew it was for Draco. A small part of me saddened and another part of me already had that coming.
Draco walked us to the beginning of the table, and held me close to him, I felt very safe and protected in his strong arms, and never wanted to leave their warmth. I slowly put the puzzle pieces together, and figured the throne was for that evil man that haunted my nightmares.
My body began to gently quiver, as the fear of him being in my presence was frightening enough. Draco noticed and quietly whispered soothing things to me, protecting me from my own haunting thoughts. I was wrapped up in Draco when a loud 'bang' was heard throughout the room.
I clung to Draco and he wrapped his arms around me as we faced the throne and our backs to the Death Eaters. The second I saw that evil face from my nightmare, my stomach clenched so tight, I thought I might just crumple up and break down again.
He flawlessly stood before us, taller than imagined; he was bathed in black cloth, so black that his white pale skin stood out from them. And his face, oh his face! It was the cruelest and most evil thing I have ever laid my eyes upon. His whitish blue eyes, stared at me with such a power. Around his eyes were dark circles, and his pale lips were played into a horrific smirk, that would make anybody's hair curl.
He stared at me from head to toe, taking me in fully, seeing me for the first awaited time. And then the evil creature spoke, his eyes still on me, "Thank you, young Malfoy. You may return to your proper place." His voice was like a cold winter's breeze, causing everyone to shiver. His voice wrapped its self around me and chocked all my courage right out of me. My grasp on Draco only tightened as my fear grew. The man's eyes shot to my hand clutching Draco, and he stared at it for a moment before, giving Draco a look.
Draco squeezed my hand, and bowed, saying "Thank you, My Lord." Before return to his parents side. And then I was alone, facing Voldemort, completely alone… without my boys. He spoke to me for the first time, and just the tone of his voice made me want to scream, and get far away.
"Rosemary Catherine, it truly is you. I finally get you, all to myself." His words made me shiver and he smirked when he noticed. "I truly am sorry for the delay of this…. this little reunion. I had some, business, to attend to." He stepped forward walking towards me, making me step back, before stopping in fear of his reaction.
He was mere inches away from me when he brought his cold, bony fingers to stroke my face. I flinched, as his fingers were the coldest this I had ever felt. He then said "You are your father's daughter, truly…wonderful."
He turned and went to sit, once down he said "You will join me Rosemary Catherine, and you will enjoy your time with me." I looked at the ground, and it was silent for a long while, until he said "Understood?" and when I did nothing, he continued talking and taunting me in a harsh tone.
"Don't you want it badly Rosemary Catherine? Do you not just ache to kill? Kill all of those men who killed your parents? Those men who took your parents' lives. Don't you just ache to tear apart those men, who did the same to your parents?" I didn't notice I was crying until the tears rushed down my face and splashed on the floor. "Those filthy men, they tore you parents limb from limb, frolicking in the blood. Laughing at their pain, and screams of torture. Sucking their soul's right out of them. Don't you want to do the same; don't you want to avenge you parents?
"Their dead Rosemary Catherine, dead because of those filthy bred men, the men you are going to kill. They burnt and danced in the flamed of your parents. How does that make you feel Rosemary Catherine?" I shook my head with tears streaming down my face, and began to breath out of order.
Voldemort got up, and walked to me, stopping inches in front of my face. He grabbed my chin in a horribly painful grip, staring into my eyes. "You are going to join me. Do you understand Rosemary Catherine?" and then he disappeared. I sobbed loudly, not caring that dozes of eyes were watching me, not caring of how weak I looked.
Draco was suddenly at my side, and was maneuvering me out of the room. Once in my room, Draco and I went to my bed and we laid, just holding each other. He was stroking my hair, and I was playing with the buttons to his light blue shirt, when I finally spoke "Why did he call me with my middle name?"
Draco kissed my head and said after a paused moment, "That was what your farther called you." I nodded and looked up Draco and asked "Why does he want me so bad? Why does he torture me just in a try to get me on his side?" Draco shifted me so I was closer to him, and he answered "Well, it was said that your father was one of the best duelers of his time, and your mother graduated top of her year. So it was only obvious that they would make the perfect couple,and a perfect child; which they did. But I guess when you came along, well I suppose Voldemort just went mad trying to get to you."
I didn't say anything for a while and then Draco said "I'm so sorry for doing this Doll, but I promised Blaise and Theo that we would go to Knocktern Alley with them." I nodded and he said "Thank you so much! I'll be back soon, but do you want to come?"
I thought about it and said "No thanks, I think I'll just stay here, maybe take a bath or something." He got up with a smile and straightened out his shirt. He walked over to me and kissed my forehead gently, and said "I'll be back in the blink of an eye, try to get some rest, Doll." I waved goodbye and blew out a breath of air, as I felt very lonely without Draco by my side.
As I walked towards the bookshelf I picked up one of my favorites; 'Raymond Tully's Theory on Cast Projection Outlook Charms.'. As I snuggled deep into my soft duvet, I released that I must have drifted off some time later, when I felt Kiley's small hands tapping on my shoulder.
I sat up fast and Kiley said in her squeaky voice "I's was told to bring Mistress Rose her dinner, when Mistress Cissa saw Miss Rosemary not at dinner." I smiled at her and said "Well thank you very much then Kiley." I looked down and saw a sliver tray with a plate pack full of food, and a pot of steaming tea.
Kiley then said "Kiley hopes the food is good, Miss Rosie, I's made a special for you." I thanked her again and after she left I gratefully dove into the plate of delicious food. Once finished, my plate and tray vanished, to where I haven't a clue. I changed into a comfy, silky, pastel green nightdress.
Just as I was placing a book back on its shelf, I heard a heavy knock on the door. I quickly said "Come in!" and placed the book down, turning to my visitor. Draco walked in and I immediately smiled a big smile at him. He smirked and said "I just came to say goodnight."
I was now sitting on the edge of the end of my bed, Draco was walking towards me, well more like sexily sauntering. I smiled and asked "How are Blaise and Theodore?" Draco made a mocking shocked face, and placed a hand to his heart as he stumbled back, in an act to look hurt.
I giggled and asked "What?!" in an innocent voice. He gasped at me and said "I dragged my beat up body all the way up to you, my darling, and you ask me how my mates are?!" He then proceeded with his act and promptly dropped to the floor in a silly looking heap.
I laughed as I ran over to him, kneeling beside him, and said "I was simply curious!" He laughed that perfect laugh, the one that would cause anyone, in their right mind or not, to swoon like a virgin seeing a nude man for the first time. He looked up at me and pulled me so I was straddling his waist; with my hands on his broad shoulders.
I saw that he did not fail to notice that my nightgown was now pooled on his chest and my legs were bare. I then also saw a fast glint of mischief then I felt large, warms hand run up and down my bare thighs. I moaned quietly and brought my lips down to Draco's.
His tongue was apparently waiting for mine, as the second I slightly opened my mouth, he wonderfully worked his tongue against mine. I shifted myself closer to him and felt as if someone had stuck a hot rod in my core and twisted it slowly… and it felt so nice.
I slowly realized that I have never felt anything like what I feel when I am around Draco, and only Draco can bring me this feeling. And the more and more this feeling comes up...the more I crave for it, when it was over and gone.
